It's rotten, so rotten here
So rotten, ah, oh!

It was like, the last day before trash day (uh)
My place was gettin' kinda nasty (uh)
Even know the garbage I knew would reak (ya know)
Thought that I could leave it for one more week
Then I, I'm takin', birthday cake (oh) and chile and greasy old bacon
Throw in all on top of the mess I've been makin'
Wife so mad she start to shakin'
Leaky bag and now the girl is gaggin'
She's naggin', I need you to get that stuff of the kitchen floor (oh)
Is that too much to ask you for (oh)
But I see no reason why, I can't let a few more weeks go by (uh uh)
And that garbage is piled up high, and buddy you should see the flies
I said

[Chorus]
There something rotten here (say what)
You better hold your nose (oh)
(Hey you disgusting slob, you better take the trash out)uh uh uh uh, oh
Boy there's a lot in here (a lot)
And everyday it grows (oh)
(Hey you disgusting slob, you better take the trash out)uh uh uh, make you
Want to throw up

Look at all this garbage that I keep generatin' (come on)
I sit around all day and watch it biodegrating
Bet there's a hundred house codes that I'm violatin'
Even my dog passed out and need resusatatin'
You won't believe it, take a whiff of that aroma
Sure to put you in a coma
It's so messy can't find my toenail clippers
It's so bad the roaches wearin' slippers
Worn, sweatly clothes, pile up in this joint
Stand up by themselves at this point
It's so filthy now baby I can't lie
I wipe my feet before I go outside
I wonder what crawled in here and died
Ya know, walkin' around barefoot actin terrified
But it gives me stuff to talk about with my friends, like
Hey I think them rats gettin' big (oh)

[Chorus]
There something rotten here (say what)
You better hold your nose (oh)
(Hey you disgusting slob, you better take the trash out)uh uh uh uh, oh
Look what we got in here (now what)
Let's watch it decompose (oh)
(Hey you disgusting slob, you better take the trash out)uh uh uh uh, make
You want to throw up

With a little bit a
And a little bit a
Make me want to throw up
It makes you want to
Just makes you want to
Oh

Some Lysol, some Comet, I got a mop and its got your name on it
(What?) I'm just kiddin' dogonit
(Oh) Unless your gonna do it
Careful not to (ay) breathe the fumes
The garbage piles are goin' all the way to the bathroom
Turn in to toxic waste sometime this after noon
Better get a Hazmat suit and a push broom
Oh

[Chorus]
There something rotten here (say what)
You better hold your nose (oh)
(Hey you disgusting slob, you better take the trash out)uh uh uh uh, oh
Its kinda pot in here (tear pot)
Bring out the fire hose (oh)
(Hey you disgusting slob, you better take the trash out)uh uh uh uh, make
You want to throw up

With a little bit a
And a little bit a
Make me want to throw up
Give a little bit a
And a tiny bit a
Make you want to throw up
Mix a little bit a
With a molecule of a
Make me want to throw up
It makes me want to
Just makes me want to
Oh!

    I think this is even better than the original. Al's a pretty good rapper (listen to "couch potato")

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Album art
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Album art
Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
